My hotdog was scandalously devoid of "SNAP?" Whatsup? Seems they're getting second-tier viennas without natural casing. Either that or they let it steam for too long. Condiments also were subpar. Come on guys. This ain't rocket science. read more

Bratwursts were delicious ! The young lady that took our order was Very sweet...not so much for the owner! He was training someone&did not seem happy read more

STAY AWAY!!!! I never been here before and I'll never go back after this. I was willing to give a small business a try and support but this is exactly why I don't come close to mom and pop shops. Nasty inside. Very dirty and the cups are all covered with bugs flying around them. The sever who took my order was very nice but the food not so much. The straw dispenser was dirty and the straws come without a wrapper. I got my food anxious to try it but when parked up home I see little black dot in my cup and I popped the top off to see ants in the cup from the bottom floating up read more

Went there last night for what will be my last time. Food--awful. Couldn't bear to finish the polish. Service was bad--manager wants everyone to pay in cash so he did nothing to fix card machine--if it ever worked. I last was there over 10 years ago and that was perhaps last time the facility was cleaned. read more

A very quick experience.. less than 15 minutes. The place is small and tight. With some bar seating and they also have outdoor space. The menu is straightforward; service was quick and good. We ordered a Chicago dog with fries and a polish. It was really good and I'll definitely would go back to try other items. read more

Mustard's Last Stand is a classic hot dog stand. They have a variety of fast food classics like hot dogs, burgers, fries, milkshakes. The inside isn't very big but it's fun and fast. There are some places to sit but more to wait. I ordered a classic Chicago dog with everything and fries and a shake. The food was good and it was about 16.00 for everything. I'm glad I tried it. I liked the dog but I've had better fries. The milkshake was made by hand which was fun. Glad I got to try this Evanston staple. I think it might be more fun in the summer! read more

Nothing fancy--but nostalgic spot for the people of evanston! After a northwestern football or basketball game, this is the place to be! Food is "classic burger joint" cuisine. It's simple...making it just right! Staff is incredibly kind and embraces true chicago energy! A hot dog and fries is typically my order and I have never been disappointed. read more

Next stop on my tour of Chicago's recommended hot dogs! Absolutely hit the spot. I got the Chicago Jumbo Hot Dog charred with no onions, no relish, and extra pickle. It was delicious and the fries were also great. Makes sense why it was recommended. read more

Classic no frills Chicago sandwiches and dogs that are good for the soul. There is a reason they've been a neighborhood staple next to the NU stadium for decades. read more

Another old school hotdog stand shop, great place to grab food before a graduation at NorthWestern. Hotdogs are good, but would definitely pass on the Mac n cheese. It's small inside so it can get crowded easily, they have seating outside. read more

The food is overpriced for what you get but it is the main attraction in the area. This could be understood to some degree. The main cashier during the week is amazing and the main reason is return week to week. However, when he is not there the business falls apart. Without him it is absolute chaos, ignoring call in orders included. When you get 30 minutes for lunch and things like that slip, all you can do is leave. There is little room to sit inside the business but offering outdoor seating helps. Overall, they need a proper shift lead like the main cashier more often. It's not a terrible place to go but at times it gets frustrating and makes you question wanting to return. Ultimately I blame the owner. The cashier and cook are phenomenal but they need more help to improve the business. It's unfair to put that much work on two people. Eliseo is the man. read more

Good place for a Chicago Dog. Ask for well done fries. When we were there, it was slow, so we got quick service.

"Mustards Last Stand" cool hot dog stand in Evanston adjacent to the soon to be demolished Ryan Field. I have been going past this location for decades & finally decided to check it out. Kind of a cool old place that's been around since 1969. Boy did I take my time getting here. The restaurant is really dated & has a ton of old photos of different sports figures of by gone era (kind of like me lol ). It was kind of cool to finally stop in and share in the moment. I ordered a hot dog but not just any hot dog a Vienna Beef dog w/everything except relish. You can't go wron w/a Vienna Beef hot dog in my eyes. It was good hot dog but nothing that jumped out at me read more

I was in town for work with a basketball team. I called when they opened and let them know we'd be coming through as a group of ~30. When we got there, the team of 3 were quick and efficient and got through us all with grace! Really appreciate the service. And food was good! Thank you guys! read more

I have wanted to try this place out for a while. This is exactly what you think of when you hear "Mustards last stand". This institution has been these for 54 years and continues to pull in people from all ages and backgrounds. The ambiance is very... no frills, get your food, and move on. The candy and small toys machine take you back to a day where they were more commonplace. The signs are backlit, black letter, paper in cellophane, and poster board. No digital signage here. The food is your basic diner food. I order the #4 special which was a double cheeseburger, fries, and a medium drink for $14.99. It was delivered fast, hot, and in a nice basic paper bag. I noticed they have corn dogs as well, so I am going to need to go back for that. The burger was exactly what you would expect for a grill burger. Not a griddles burger, the grates on the grill seared the pattern to give you that char you would expect. The fries are shoestring, and the oil they are cooked in brought forth a flavor that you can tell included the other foods cooked in the fryer. This is not the place to go if you are gluten free. Overall, I liked it. I will be going back. read more

Great food. I had the ribeye steak sandwich and fries. Delicious! Service was great. The fries are excellent and I couldn't stop eating them

$25 for 2 hot dogs and fries is insane. To make it worse, the cup of cheese wasn't even melted. Definitely my first and last time coming here. read more

Havent been home In years I used to come here in the 90s and throughout HS but this place has officially lost there mind. $16 for a cheeseburger meal $11 for a hot dog and fries get real. Won't be coming back there ever. Only reason they are around is because of Northwestern games. read more

It's been over 30 years since I was last at Mustard's Last Stand (MLS) on Central street in Evanston. It was late Sunday afternoon and almost dusk when, at the last minute I pulled in. Not being extremely hungry, I opted for the #1 of a hot dog, fries, and lemonade just to tide me over driving home. It all totaled $12.12. The service was fast and I could tell it was a decent meat wiener on a nice steamed poppyseed bun. The onions, relish and mustard were of standard issue and seemingly fresh. The fries had a nice hint of crunch and salt...there just needed to be more of them. The fry bag itself was of good size but it didn't seem to be filled adequately. At least the lemonade was very tasty. Overall, the whole ensemble was your average Chicagoland hotdog experience. However, the strangeness came at the register. I'll assume it was the owner ringing me up. He tried encouraging me to tap for Apple Pay two times, because his register wouldn't provide a paper receipt for him detailing the transaction. I politely and firmly refused to tap a 2nd time showing him that my Apple iPhone wallet has $12.12 pending for MLS. I can't say what was wrong on his side of the transaction, but he was a tad miffed and I didn't trust a refund option. So, I politely thanked him, took my food and left. Sadly, I remember MLS from 35+ years ago as a high school & college student in Evanston and spur of the moment nostalgia took me into MLS again after soooo many years! Unfortunately, everything about the place was just sad, old and run down, except the pictures on the wall, which was kind of cool to see. Otherwise, it's a stark contrast to the fabulous new Northwestern University football stadium under construction directly across the street. Hopefully the owner will renovate to keep up with progress. It's not likely I'll be returning to Mustard's Last Stand anytime soon...the food was just fair enough for passing by, but nothing like I remember it. read more

great place! i recently moved around this area and i immediately fell in love with this place. the workers are friendly, the atmosphere has a 70s-80s type of vibe, and i be eating tf out their hot dogs in less than 40 seconds. read more

I think this place is more nostalgic to people than it is great food. I was craving a cheeseburger so came here for the first time. I got the cheeseburger special with small fry and medium drink The price with tax was $13.00 something. The burger was thin and frozen as were the fries. I think there is better value for money elsewhere along with more comfortable seating. Also I just hope this place was cleaner than it looked. read more

This is a good old fashioned hot dog joint in Evanston by the football and basketball stadiums. Its been there forever and it looks that way. I have had burgers and hot dogs there and they've been great! Its not really an all frills kind of place. I do like their fries. The parking and seating can be a little challenging, but thats part of the charm of places like this. They run a bunch of lunch deals so I would recommend it for lunch! Check it out! read more

An Evanston staple, this hole in the wall is right next to Dyche Stadium and a great go to for Chicago-style hotdogs and the best skinny fries!

Eat here. You won't regret it. Nestled next to the new Northwestern Juggernaut Stadium, this place delivers the best hot dogs, fries and any other pre-game/bar-post game/bar food on earth. Highly recommended. Oh yeah, free parking, easy in and out through the back . Most importantly, for you first timers, do your menu research ahead of time. Don't stand there and stare at the menu like you're at Chez Paul and the menu is in French. It's a Hot Dog Joint. read more

Been going here since the 1970's and that same grill gives some of the best grilled flavor for burgers you will ever experience. Mustard's itself is an experience. Whenever you are in Evanston, go there. If you aren't in Evanston, make the trip. The double cheeseburger is where it is at. read more

I write this review with the utmost respect for the owner , however for the cook not so much. In what world do we live in where a person in charge of cooking large quantities of food is not required to wear a hairnet or gloves while serving food. The amount of sweat dripping from his face into the food all while putting burgers and beefs together with no gloves. So unsanitary. To the owner , it's time to instill better policies to avoid cross contamination and food related illnesses. read more

Today's #NationalHotDogMonth place is about as old as I am. It was established in 1968-69. Mustard's Last Stand is an Evanston landmark. It's a stone throw from Ryan Field, the home of the Northwestern Wildcats. This is an old school place with a lot of history. This is one tasty Chicago Style dog. It can still be a classic AND authentic without a natural casing. A lot of "aficionados" will argue this point. Throughout the region you will always find variations of the holy grail of ingredients such as, not using the neon green relish. It's doesn't make it a bad dog. The dog was super tasty with just the right amount of toppings. Nothing over powers another ingredient but amplify the other for one good bite. Hot Dog read more

This is a typical, very small divey hotdog and hamburger place right next to the the stadium in Evanston. Great if you're looking for quick fast food before a game or afterwards, there are a couple outside tables and a very small space inside. They do have some specials, which include fries and a drink. read more

I went for the car show and stayed for the food. It is Mustards 50th anniversary and they celebrated by having a car show. So I hopped in my hot rod and away I went. They were giving away free hotdogs but I didn't know that until I went inside and bought one, then a few minutes later the free hotdog cart opened up outside. So I still ended up with my usual two hotdogs. I'm told that the burgers are great here but I'm a hotdog guy and I can say they are as good as any good hotdog joint I've ever been to and I'm a huge Portillios fan. Fresh steamed bun with all the Chicago dog fixings. It was excellent! Normally when I'm in Evanston I go to Bill's for burgers and dogs but now I may have to rethink that. read more

Great Chicago style hot dog and fries. Quick to get your food from ordering and not too crazy prices

Satisfy your old school cravings with a cheeseburger and fries, chat about the weather with the owner, and check out vintage sports pictures inside. The outside is Instagram friendly with predominant colors of yellow and red. Standard fare of burgers, sausages, Hot Dogs and fries is available here. This place is constantly busy and has been open for takeout throughout the Covid season. They have couple of tables outside available if you can't wait to take a bite of your burger.
